Course Description
The purpose of this course is to study the basics of physiology that aid in the applying of clinical
nutrition. The course covers the functions of various systems and organs in the body and studies the
cell, tissues, blood vessels, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, endocrine, exocrine and
nervous systems.
Teaching strategies
The course will be conducted in a form of lectures, practical work including demonstration of
illustrations related to the study topics, class discussions, seminars and student presentations.
